Nice tool kit Taylor. Definitely well thought out with a great selection of tools. I like how you included examples of when the items saved the day.
Can't wait for the update
I carried a knife almost every day when I was a pup. Once I joined the Royal Navy, I carried a Leatherman. Have done everyday since. Use it every day, 10 times a day. Would lost without it. 😎🇬🇧⚓️
I can fell that. I carry my zt 0350 and typically have a multi tool on me or near by. I couldn’t live without them.
Don't forget the GPS tracker so if some one lifts it, you can find the bag worth $1k. Wow.
Eric, we think the same. High five 🙌
I used to keep a tile in mine…switched to an airtag tho
@@Hosunlee89 simping lmao
I will never pay $120 for 3 pieces of metal that's adjustible
Well I know what I’m going to go build this afternoon... edc tool
Lot here we come!
Nice kit! It would take up almost no space to slide a couple bandaids in there. Since I became a dad I've always kept a couple in my wallet and have saved the day multiple times when we were out somewhere and one of the kids got any minor scrapes.
I just ordered 2springs for my stainless steel investigator,I called Hinderer knives direct and just paid shipping of $3.00.
The Ti Baton Pro is a beast and such a slick looking light. One of my favorites.
When it comes to pens I almost exclusively use Rite-in-the-Rain pens. We used to get them at the PX before our deployment to Iraq. The PX price really wasn’t that far off the actual retail price of the pens. Here’s the good news for you. The replacement cartridge for those pens is exactly the same size and shape as your Fisher Space Pens. So you could buy a pen for $15, use the pen and see if it fits your needs, and if it doesn’t you can use the insert and spring for your other pen.
Same company now, but good points.
I bought one of those pouches a while back due to you showing it. It is in my work bag and has pen, earbuds, my style ps and couple other little things.
I used to be anti pry bar but then a customer tipped me a CRKT Viva and it came in handy so much I’ve upgraded to the OKC Otacle 2 mini, I work at a fuel station in Oregon and have prevented many customers from breaking their keys/cards due to broken fuel doors!
i really like the idea of having 2 robust pry bars. never know when you might need to use one to open a spot for a second and so on.
Man, Taylor. I'm so happy you didn't reshoot that scene with the EDS. I've rewatched your reaction 7 times and it cracks me up everytime 🤣. Amazing toolkit though man! 👊🏻
A sharpie marker slides in the outside mesh pretty nice. I also keep one of those four color click pens in mine
Whatever Leatherman you get, I always suggest getting one with replaceable wire cutters. Years ago I messed up the wire cutters on my first Leatherman trying to cut some tough barbed wire. The pliers never worked well after that and I was reminded of my mistake every time I used it. Eventually I got a Surge but now I’m so careful with the cutters that I’ll probably never have to replace them.
send it in they will replace the jaws under warranty,i worked at Leatherman 28 years ago and Tim Leatherman has a very good warranty repair dept that is fast ,ive never seen them deny a repair or replacement.
@@MrJay8633 I just watched a video where a guy sent in 2 Leathermans that were really old and beat up pretty bad. He even said he’d consider them abused and didn’t expect the warranty to cover them. Leatherman sent him 2 brand new tools, amazing! Unfortunately mine was stolen 😢 But that’s ok, mine was from the late 90’s and it gave me an excuse to upgrade to a better model!
Love all the video's you put out, keep up the good work! - Bit flying out was a good laugh.
I took a spring from a disposable pen and put it on my Ruger CRKT bolt action tactical pen.and it works fine. Not sure if it will help you with your problem but it's just a suggestion
Nice kit! I have the same pouch, and I really like your setup! Like you said, some first aid is useful. I also carry 550 paracord and a "Rite in the Rain" notepad.
I feel like you should mention that your kit would cost nearly $900 for someone to put together
And everything looks brand new…
Well yeah. Of course it does.
Take a look at the Leatherman Signal with a bit kit for the screwdriver built in. Small fire started and knife sharpener built in. The crimson is also sharp. Doesn’t cover all the bases but does a lot in a small package.
Go to the Dollar Store buy some various pens and see which Spring Works if they don't you can cut them down to fit
9:04 cool trick, making the bit disappear ;-)
If it’s just going in your backpack you could get the bigger pocket organizer & have a leatherman in a sheath too. Also I have a pocket folding saw in my mesh pocket of the organizer pouch.
Gang, always carry something similar and as a cycle rider it’s a must !
A well thought out and organized kit. I like it.
Awesome setup, gave me some ideas.... most importantly, did you find your dog 🐕 ok? 🙏🇺🇸
I'm french, I like your chanel, you speak well, and that so cool because I understand very well all shat you say.
In more of that, I like the background ambiance of your studio 👌
*awesome edc tool kit assembly...several items would take time for me to save up for but being the son of a master mechanic and having learned to appreciate well made no nonsense tools the investment would be well worth it*
I used a spring out of a zebra F-301 & cut it down with a pair of wire cutters.
Dude I don't know if how many people have ever asked you this but most of your EDC I really enjoy. But trying to collect all of these articles sometimes can be a real pain in the butt. I would really love to see you collect these items and offer it out as a package deal to us that have no sense of direction or the ability to search the internet to find these interesting articles that you put in your edcs. I'd really love to be one of your customers because a lot of the EDC that you have I really enjoy and would love to have
mine are on a pouch on my belt, might need to upscale like yours great vid!
I was super excited to put something like this together. Do you have an EDC tool kit for those on a budget? Most this stuff definitely fits the “Best Damn EDC” criteria but is there something like the “Good enough EDC” or even the “Meh EDC” tool kit? Edit: Just found the budget playlist. Noice.
That’s a great idea actually! I’ll see if I can put one together in the current state of affairs. But this might have to be one of those videos that has to wait for the quarantines to lift.
here are a few substitutions. Start with Gerber... Gerber EAB is a mini utility knife for about $15. Gerber Shard or Gerber Mullet is a little pry bar multi(ish) tool for $5 to $10. You can use almost any multi-tool and there are many options that are more affordable. Flashlight prices are all over the place but ultimately you can find one of adequate size with acceptable output in the $15 to $25 dollar range. Coast HP1 is a AA battery flash light that puts out 190 lumins for under $20. That is a lot of light for the money. They also make a smaller Inspection beam for $10 and the concentration of lumins (although fewer) is very nice. True Utility has a lot of small and micro tools in the $10 range and they offer free shipping once you hit $25 so that is a fantastic option. You can outfit a "pretty ok EDC" using these resources and get it done for the cost of one or two of the tools in the BEST DAMN EDC.
Excellent. I just found my next tool related addiction. I do have a couple of mtb multitools I would suggest rotating out a single item from your kit for a novel item and see how it works out.
Great kit for the car or motorcycle. Loved the little wrench!
131k I am always happy seeing a number over 100k when watching your vids! Great work!
I don't know where you could get a new spring, but I would just start by putting in springs from another click pen that you don't use and see if that works
Damn man , you’re small edc tool kit has to cost close to or possibly more than most people’s around the house tool kit . Fancy !!!
Hey taylor, you need to stain finish your shelves, just saying. Great videos bruh, keep it up.
Had multitool in my backpack, went to subway (in NYC) and there were random check by NYPD, cops searched through my backpack, and found the multitool, and confiscated it. Luckily It was cheap $20 multi tool from Amazon
Great EDC tool kit. IMO it would make sense to possibly add a minimal first aid kit and keep with the purpose of the kit. Adding survival gear would tend to change the purpose.
hey suggestion on the griffin tool there considering the nail puller that it has it to drill and then tap in 2 threaded screw holes in it would be so that way it can be also used for wire style hose clamps simular to that of a clamptite tool ( speaking if which that is one tool i would add into my EDC bag it comes into a lot of uses)
At the 3:13 mark, that bolt-head wrench (ti EDC wrench) must be good because it is in a lot of other peoples EDC vids. I also like the blade sharpener (Benchmade Work Sharp Edged) tool.
You could easily add something flat in the internal pockets, like sand paper or tin foil.
Very cool design of items, I will go watch the improved version of this now.
Laughed hard when the bit flew xD
Thanks for filming
Just wondering if the bit was held in magnetically or not I have one of those cheap pen like tools with bits that are held in magnetically and they surprisingly stay in the tool. Maybe that is why it came out like that but if they don't have the bits held in magnetically that's something to suggest they improve on their product which still is nice btw.
Very nice, with some really cool tools, I haven't seen anything like that EDC wrench before, now I want one. This setup looks pretty expensive though.
Well done. Added three items to my wish list.
I love the design of that TI EDC wrench, but at $125 I think I'll stick with a 4 inch adjustable wrench.
You should check out the Knipex Mini Pliers Set XS, or if you want them indiviuually the Knipex Mini Cobras XS or Knipex Mini Pliers Wrench XS. They are a bit pricey but they are high quality, and made in Germany.
Wanted to know what you recommended for drivers? I have a screwdriver that i want to get new bits for
You should check out the Knipex Mini Pliers Set XS, or if you want them individually the Knipex Mini Cobras XS or Knipex Mini Pliers Wrench XS. They are a bit pricey but they are high quality and made in Germany. And for the multi-tool I would recommend checking out the SOG poweraccess deluxe, I find it thin for the number of tools, and the leverage the gears give you for the pliers make gripping things super easy. And for storing things like this at home or at a hotel or in a vehicle, I love my Pelican R60 Ruck Case.
Thanks for sharing! great setup!
Oh man I've got the mini of this maxpedition pouch and it works awesome!!! Fits a bit more gear not as limited as the micro, I carry among other things... Leatherman charge Tti as well as a PM2 without any issues with the size FYI, awesome channel man been following for a while now love it 👌👍 hello from Australia
more of these videos should come with a parts list or a "where to buy" link in the description. Not knocking the video because it is a good video, I liked and subscribed because of it. just some constructive feedback.
Great video🇺🇸👌 Thank you Taylor!
Go go gadget screwdriver..🤣🤣 Awesome edc bro, definitely adding these to my wish list👍🏽
Whatever you choose...
you're off to a good start.
I loved my Leatherman Wave. I used the hell out of it. Well until someone at a job site decided they liked it more then I did and stole it while I was helping some else with their section of the job
I feel ya. I got my brother-in-laws black oxide military issue Leatherman for my birthday. The first time I decided to take vacation time at work was the perfect opportunity for someone to snag it. 🤷🏼♂️
Is there anything that you could recommend to replace the RB pocket probe? They are disconnected and I like the idea of having the tweezers
I use an Altoids Mini tin to keep my different bits in my EDC tool kit
That’s awesome, your reaction when the screwdriver bit went flying 😂
Best edc is a credit card, mobile phone and knife. My card sees more slicing action than any knife 😎
Also works better with Uber and food outlets, everytime I use my knife for an Uber, they speed up and past. CC works better in an city setting
Not finished with the video yet but felt I needed to say this. I'm pretty sure I have commented on one of your videos about this befor. When it comes to flashlights. I will take longer run time over brightness. Company's are so focused one brighter and brighter flashlights. When I was younger this experience set my preference in my mind. I loved to go rock climbing. I used to climb at great falls VA. Good for just messing around. But not paying attention because of the full moon at my back. I just climbed until I was to weak to go any farther knowing I would just make the walk along the trail back. But the walk back in the woods where it was pitch black was hell. And took me forever. I would have rather had a flashlight say 50 to 100 lumens that would have made the whole trip back safe over a 20000000 lumen light that would have lasted me 1/4 of the way back. Sorry for the long post. Just sharing a thought most people forget about. How often do you really need to be able to see a mile ahead of you over whats right in front of you.
Anyone heard of the Hart micro utility knife?? Just picked one up the same price as the Gerber lite and the same but theirs a unlock button for the blade!! 👍And picked up a new multitool slim wallet 🤙two awesome buy's today!
Like the Light Saber in left compartment😎
I wouldn't compromise an edc tool kit with first aid. I'd designate a small kit with first aid and you can surprisingly get away with a kit about the same size. Compressed gauze, tourniquet, maybe an ETD, and some bandaids and call it good.
This would actually make a really nice kit to keep in the pouch on the front of my motorcycle.
This video gave me ideas for my EDC. Maybe I can even replace it with leftovers...
Imma EDCing my whole house. 😆
When that bit flew out😂😂
Great Video as usual:) Question...what cleaver knive is it, in the bottom left corner of the thumbnail? Thanks:)
I spent 1 hr searching for this video just to watch 8:58 - 9:09. Taylor's face, priceless LOL
If you do make a bigger kit, as well as first aid basics include some duct tape & super glue. Can't tell you how many times that has saved the day for me (and various other people around me).
Great video and useful information
Contact hinderer for a replacement spring and tell them that yours is worn out.. they should either give you one or let you buy one for a low low price (probably just cost of shipping).
nice EDC Kit. Just wondering why you carry the Griffin prybar over the AAP which is in titanium ?
What is your favorite pen refill if you don’t like The Fisher Space Pen?
cool set of tools thanks for sharing
could you tell, what is the name of the blade which is located in the bottom left corner of the adv of the video?
A cheap note pad may be a fine addiction. Try a standard pen spring for the FSP refill.
That tool kit is great. I'd just create a second for a survival EDC pouch.
Just picked up a Maxpedition mini. The zipper seems to stick a bit around the side of the pouch (the longest run). In your experience, is this something that will improve with time/use? Or should I replace this one?
Great vlog 🧰🔧
pretty nice kit. thanks for sharing
For a Spring use one out of a throwaway pen.... that's what I did with that zebra I got from you.... The spring that came with the zebra was too strong and long....
Good stuff. Thank you for the video.
Have you done a TSA compliant EDC? With some of the bladeless options out there you opinion would be interesting.
I keep the same pouch in my backpack as
well. None of this is meant to be used daily, serves simply as a backup to my EDC
Kershaw Leek (my first knife)
Olight i3T
Gerber Shard
Bic Lighter
Fisher space pen
Extra AAA battery
A bottle of medicine (daily allergy, ibuprofen)
Shout cleaning wipes (seriously buy some)
Chapstick
Bandages
Eye drops
Sunscreen
Thoughts on flashlight being rechargeable? do you ever forget to charge? I believe the current baton II come with a magnetic usb charger. do you carry that around in you kit also? I didn't see you show it. only curious because I wonder how long it will retain charge if not being used... thanks
Taylor, any updates to this kit? I'm using this as a wish list, per say, and would love to know if there any updates/improvements made in the past few months.
Thanks!
I actually have one planned and ready to shoot. Meant to make it last week but ran out of time. So in the next couple weeks, for sure. 🙌🏻
9:02 good thing your kit has a flashlight. xD
Funny story, I never been a big fan of carrying too many things on me like a multitool or even a knife because I never felt the need for them, but I do keep it in my backpack that I only take with me occasionally... two days ago on my way to work I locked the house door behind me without grabbing my keys, I panicked for about a minute and then started thinking what can I use to break into my own house 🤦♂️ a $3 Walmart multitool help me open the door in less than a minute and helped me get to work on time. Now I'm looking for a good multitool that I can keep with me at all time.
Leatherman
Your titanium preference made me think of my titanium film camera (nikon fm2t). Then I noticed you have film cameras in the background! Do you have any titanium cameras?
Nice kit, I like the size mine is too heavy need to down size it.
I visit the range about twice a month, fly paragliders and race mountain bikes...I love the outdoors and adventure. I live downtown Atlanta and I've never concealed-carried, even during midnight mountain bike training rides. The more I see these "EDC" videos, the more questions I have. Are these truly "daily carries?" or are they thrown in a backpack during something like a get-away weekend trip? I can definitely see where something like this would come in handy during a van-life adventure.
I think now you could prob get rid of the leatherman and pry tools. Replace with Gerber Prybrid X and the Armbar Drive. The adjustable wrench will cover almost everything anyhow, and those 2 gerbers will lighten it up a little bit.
Replace a Leatherman with Gerber tools? 🤣 No, my guy. No.
I use the olight everyday and I want a bigger one for edc call me crazy but I love it
A medical bag should be ' binered to the back pack separately. A great way to get through most scrapes and cuts is a tube of Polysporin, a tube of CA glue, a sheet of paper towel, and roll of electrical tape.
Good luck finding that bit. You'll have to let us know how long it takes and how far it went.
Think I'd place that as EDC expanded carry, and yes it would live in my truck.
I wouldn't make all the same choices as you, but you are definitely selling me on a mini toolkit for a edc bag
